Anaconda (1997)

A National Geographic film crew heads deep into the Amazon to capture rare wildlife footage, led by documentary director Terri Flores (Jennifer Lopez) and cameraman Danny Rich (Ice Cube). When they rescue a stranded hunter, Paul Serone (Jon Voight), the team quickly realizes he's not there to help—he's hunting a legendary giant anaconda worth a fortune.

As their expedition turns into a fight for survival, the crew must outwit both the jungle and the massive snake stalking them from the shadows. Equal parts creature-feature and adventure thriller, Anaconda delivers 90s-era tension, wild performances, and practical effects that cemented its cult status.
